ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” made the grade with Emmy voters this year, with the freshman comedy about a Philadelphia elementary school scoring seven Emmy nominations, including Best Comedy Series and Best Comedy Actress and Best Comedy Writing for the show’s star and creator, Quinta Brunson. However, there can be little argument that the show’s breakout character was Ava Coleman, the outrageous and outrageously inept principal played by Janelle James.
James’s work has earned her a nomination for Best Comedy Supporting Actress, her first Emmy bid. She is nominated alongside her “Abbott Elementary” co-star Sheryl Lee Ralph, “Ted Lasso” actors Hannah Waddingham (last year’s winner), Juno Temple and Sarah Niles, Hannah Einbinder of “Hacks,” and previous winners Alex Borstein (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”) and Kate McKinnon (“Saturday Night Live”).

Television has provided unrealistic standards of life’s many truths for as long as it’s existed — from being able to hang out in a coffee shop during the work day to going on thousands of dates in a single year. But one of the most bothersome standards TV has warped audiences into thinking is what kind of apartment New Yorkers today can realistically afford.

If only they knew what they were actually in for.

Sam Mendes’ World War I epic 1917 scored its second major guild victory of the awards season Saturday at the 72nd annual DGA Awards, cementing his spot as an Oscar Best Picture frontrunner in Director and Best Picture by winning the marquee feature film award.
The victory in a category that included four of this year’s five Oscar Directing nominees — Bong Joon-Ho for Neon’s Parasite, Quentin Tarantino for Sony’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Martin Scorsese for Netflix’s The Irishman — came after the Universal film produced and financed by Amblin Partners and New Republic scored the top prize at the PGA Awards a week ago.

The Directors Guild of America is out with its DGA Awards nominations for TV series after a false start earlier this week. The shows whose helmers will be vying for the hardware are Game of Thrones, Watchmen, Succession, Barry, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Veep.
See the full list of noms revealed today below.
The DGA had been slated to announce all of its TV nominations earlier this week, but instead it revealed only the TV Movie/Limited Series, Documentary, Variety/Talk/News/Sports and Commercials nominees on Monday. It blamed the delay on “a re-vote related to a newly implemented electronic entry submissions process.”
The guild had announced last week that Jill Soloway — a previous DGA Award winner for her work on Transparent — was left off the ballot because of an internal DGA error. “We regret to inform you that the following entry was inadvertently omitted from the Comedy Series ballot: #165a.

The Up All Night crew may have been still nursing that post-New Year's Eve hangover because this week's episode, "Rivals," did not deliver the grudge match the title seemingly promised.
I had expected Megan Mullally to be a tremendous guest star, but the former Will and Grace stallwart failed to shine as brightly as her "rival" Maya Rudolph.
For the most part, Shayna was a good role for Mullally, it's just that in my eyes she will always be Karen Walker. So when she delivered her lines with that Southern drawl, I found myself wanting to instead hear the more familiar high-pitched shrill that helped her become such a break out actress.
I'm hoping with more appearances I will come to not be so distracted and appreciate what I'm sure will be tremendous performaces. It is no doubt a good problem for actors to have, to be so known for a famous role,...
